Edgar said: The 803 D3 was in situ for several weeks and, throughout its stay, they encouraged regular and lengthy listening sessions. While they improved in terms of dynamic expression and bass power with ongoing running-in, their full suite of qualities in the areas of soundstaging, imaging, detail, tonality and resolution were all maintained as the signature of this extraordinary design.

Roger said: For just a tad over $20,000, the Bryston Middle T Active speaker system offers fantastic performance at a price that’s reasonable, considering that it includes amplification and parametric equalization . . .

Aron said: Had it not been for a mild tonal imbalance instilled in this speaker by an AMT tweeter that constantly demands to be the center of attention, I might have concluded this review with an enthusiastic recommendation.

Jeff said: I think that, in the XT-5, Raidho Acoustics has produced a loudspeaker that will appeal to many listeners, and that seems to have fewer limitations than their past speakers -- for instance, it will play plenty loud.

Aron said: Yes, there are other speakers on the market that offer more in terms of deep-bass extension and utter neutrality for less money. But, as with a Bugatti, what you pay $39,900 for is not the highest sound quality alone. You pay for a bespoke visual and aural experience by way of musical seduction, and Tidal’s Piano G2 has seduced me as has no other speaker.

Edgar said: From the midrange on up to the highest treble, it performs an extraordinary imitation of the larger Wilson Audio designs, the last few generations of which have been outstanding in balancing precision and musicality.
